Live at the Unicorn Ludlow new years eve 2008.Foot stomping Irish trad played on a fiddle a banjo and a guitar at Lunacy speed. That is the speed that starts the joint jumping.

Sung and played by John Wood banjo,Pete the fiddle and Paul the 12 string,

I'll tell me ma when I get home the boys won't leave the girls alone.
They pull my hair stole my comb thats alright till I get home.
She is hansome she is pritey she is the bell of belfast city,
she courting one two three, prey can you tell me who is she.

Albert Mooney says he loves her all the boys are fighting for her.
they knock on the door ring the bell to ask there true love is she well.
Out she comes white as snow rings on her fingers bells on her toes.
Albert Moony says she will die
if she does not get the lover with the roving eye.

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
and the snow come traveling through the sky
she is as sweet as apple pie
she will get her own lad by and by.
when she gets a lad of her own.
She wont tell her ma when she gets home.
